A THREE-MONTH-OLD foal has been discovered dead after suffering what were described as unusual and extreme injuries.

Surrey Police is now appealing for information after the animal was found last week in a field near Waverley Abbey House in Waverley Lane, Farnham.

It had injuries to its face, neck and chest and officers have been unable to determine how it died.

Described as being white with brown patches, the foal was in a field with other horses including its mother, and was said to have been safe and well 48 hours before it was found dead on Thursday, August 30.

"It cannot be established how the foal died and I am appealing for anyone who may have any information which could help solve the mystery surrounding the unusual demise of this poor foal [to come forward].”
